Long weekend, big weird comic

[spqrblues]

I did manage to get a couple of copies of daltonsharp's Love is Lava minicomic for gift-giving from the elusive Canadian table, but I think I came across as a wild-eyed crazy lady. . . .

SO cute! And the roach - SO gross. I really love the way you layered everything.

Your icon icon!

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

OMG!

I'd laugh at your icon, but I'm afraid I'd go straight to h-e-double-hockey-sticks.

I'm a little concerned about my personal damnation, but I still think it's funny.

[colleenaf.livejournal.com]

I love this one! The collage is hysterical (I'm so happy you didn't cut off the picture of Nick Nolte in a S&M mask)

Yay Talk Like a Lumberjack Day!

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

The entire layout was predicated on making sure at least part of those playfully adult lips were showing....

[amedia.livejournal.com]

OMG! You know, whenever I read your comments I have to reach for the mouse... I had *totally missed* Nick Nolte and the S&M mask. Wow.

HOLY CRAP!

Carol, I don't know exactly HOW you do it, but your cartoon renditions of people are 1000% spot on!!!

Because this one features M & A, two of my favorite people, it is my favorite.

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

We need to have some more adventures so I can subject you to a rendition too :-)

Another road trip, anyone?

(My car is still recovering from this one, though.)

[chris-moreno.livejournal.com]

Cartoon Marianne and Anya rock!

I really love your cartoons!

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Famous-Comic-Book-Guy Suitable-for-Name-Dropping-at-Conventions!

(Seriously, thank you.)

[chris-moreno.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I'm quite suitable for name-dropping. Quite.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yes--I've dropped it on several occasions myself. All to a resounding effect.

[tsudonimh.livejournal.com]

hmmm. who logged me out.

[colleenaf.livejournal.com]

ME! Muahahaha!

KA-THUNK!

[chris-moreno.livejournal.com]

It makes a satisfying "KA-THUNK!" noise.

[donnell.livejournal.com]

wish i would've got to say hello to ya, your stuff is great!

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

I'm such a complete introvert, I only managed to step up and say hello to a few people. Next time maybe I'll remember to put my name on my nametag and see if anyone steps up to me :-)

[slithytove.livejournal.com]

Having the roach rate the meal is a touch of genius.

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

We tossed it off the plate three times and it kept coming back for more. Possibly it was a newspaper food critic in a very very thorough disguise.

[dollomite.livejournal.com]

That's me!

I may be a little biased, but I adore this strip! Your talents astound me.

And the composition...amazing!

[daltonsharp.livejournal.com]

You're making us all blush!

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

See, ladies: Crown Commission lads—even more adorable when not on a placemat.

Next time we're all in the same place, I promise not to hide quite so completely.

[daltonsharp.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Great portraits, by the way. I'll have to pin a printout to my office bulletin board along with my SPX badge and other decorative souvenirs.

[jasonturner.livejournal.com]

I find it incredibly awkward myself to go up and talk to people whose stuff I like. Even when I've talked to them before!

I was very impressed that you bought two copies of Love is Lava. There was the impression that you would have bought even more if they were available! Go Dalton!

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

A lot of my friends are getting comics for holiday and birthday occasions this year. It's more fun than just pointing them to the URL first, to give a little box of minicomics tied up with a bow (or slung at them in a bag along with a bottle of Japanese plum wine, as the case and occasion may be).

I am so easily intimidated by artists and writers whose work I like. I either am tongue-tied into silence or turn into a high-pitched maniac. I was so flustered at SPX I didn't even check out the rest of the Crown Commission table to see what else was there, so I'm sure I missed some other good comics.

And I'm still waiting to see that big chunky Love is Lava omnibus someday when the saga is complete.

[jasonturner.livejournal.com]

The collected Love is Lava will be bigger than Bone!

[ktempest.livejournal.com]

Drawings, great! Roach, ew! You saw Jim? Yay! Cute boys rock :)

hey, email me, tempest fluidartist com etc. I have urgent things to ask you!! :)

oh hey, did you draw a comic for our night at KGB?

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Ah, good. I wasn't sure if you would be able to check e-mail. I will e you.

I have the KGB night on the backburner for drawing about, if I can think of clever/ironic/relevant/chocolatey-angst-filled commentary :-)

[ktempest.livejournal.com]

no angst! okay, some, since angst is good for comics.

when you e me, let me know if the trip to Austin is still on. I'm going to wfc and the person buying me the ticket needs to know if i'll be in ohio, nyc, or austin then :) silly details.

9 out of 9 Crown Commissionaires agree that we are drop dead sexy.

Also, were those Dean's cards that you thought were great, but did not take? I vaguely remember something like that going down, but most post-con sickness may have me confused.

Also: Love is Lava=best bang for your buck at SPX (next to YAND, of course).

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

I only had one day of the post-con icks, but I'm still pretty confused.

I, uhm, can't remember what Dean's cards looked like. [insert embarrassment here] My memory banks are completely overloaded.

[amedia.livejournal.com]

This is just awesome - I love the whole collagey thing and the way the background images have something to do with the new drawn stuff.

If I didn't have a wretched cold I would say something intelligent about intertextuality or something, but at the moment the best I can come with is "way cool."

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

I'm intertextual! Awesome me! :-)

I hope you get some decent rest over the weekend and shake the cold off. Now that your power is back, you can curl up with some nice warm television....
